I began my swimming journey in the early 90s. My mom told me that as a toddler, I could not wait to take swimming lessons at the West Park YMCA. She has always described me as a fish and a water baby. I absolutely loved spending my Friday nights at family swim and summers at the beach and in the pool. When I was 16 years old, I decided to become a certified lifeguard and water safety instructor. I have lifeguarded and supervised at several local pools since I became a certified lifeguard. In 2012, I graduated from Notre Dame College with my Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology.

I met Coach Leah Morris in 2015 at a pool where I used to lifeguard, teach swimming lessons, and supervise. I was very blessed and excited to join the Liquid Lifestyles family and started teaching Liquid Bubbles classes. I took a break from coaching while pursuing my Master's degree. I graduated from the University of Akron with a Master of Arts degree in School Counseling in 2016.

I enjoy working with all swimmers, especially beginners and young swimmers, while encouraging them through challenges and conquering their fears. It is my passion to help individuals develop their swimming skills while gaining self-confidence. My favorite part about school counseling (and coaching) is helping children achieve personal success while increasing self-esteem and developing their talents. My passion is helping children learn relaxation skills such as deep breathing and mindfulness, while reducing anxiety and fears. I can’t wait to meet you and share my passion for being in the water with your little ones!
